this week(Thursday 24th February 2011) in CDT i got my piece of wood (ply) and i drew the out line of the skateboard and measured it so it is big enough for people to put there feet on it',I also started drawing lines around the shape of the deck and then i will saw down the lines until i hit the outline of the deck and so when i cut out the deck the pieces that i cut will just fall off making it easier to cut it out. :)
WEEK 2:(3 march 2011) this week I had allot of hard work to do i got instead of one big piece of ply wood i got three thiner ones so the board will bend more and it will shape better i then started the relief cuts(cutting straight lines down in till you touch the shape) witch was proving very difficult because the three pieces of wood where not being held tightly enough together so i had to get four clamps before i could start the relief cuts and it was still extremely hard to cut it took me like 25 Min(s) to cut three it was really hard next week i will need to try and get allot of them done so i will need to work 10 times faster and harder. I have improved on my cutting and will hope to get better next week. :)
WEEK 3:(10th march 2011)this week i cut out my first sheet of wood to use as a template because it wasn't working with cutting them all together and to make work lighter i got to use an electric saw witch was really fun .Next week i will have to sand down my "template" and then start using it to cut the other sheets of wood
